On newsstands now is April’s Special Green Issue of Town&Country. A refreshing dose of Style meets Substance. In keeping with T&C’s readership the editorial skews high-end. April eco-features range from Four Women Who Inspire Green Causes; Fashion, Jewelry & Accessories, and Beauty & Health to Eco-travel, Farming & Food, Home Design, and Arts & Culture; with an extra special Going Going Green section for green wannabes, neophytes and already theres.

With April’s official Earth Day around the corner, I’m delighted to see such well-rounded eco coverage hit one of the top big books in such a big way. May April shower Town&Country and their readers with green rewards of all kinds. Their highlights of good, solid eco-conscious references are too numerous to mention, but here are a few personal faves:
